In the middle of the night, when Stella slept till semi-conscious, she felt the bed beside her sank slightly. Then, she
fell into a warm embrace.
She closed her eyes, and her voice was filled with fatigue, “Did you just come back?”
Clarence said yes, patted her on the back lightly with his big palm, and said in a low voice, “Continue sleeping.”
Stella habitually wrapped her arms around his waist and fell asleep again very soon.
In the darkness, Clarence kissed her on the forehead.
Now, Phoebe was caught, but Lyndon was still nowhere to be found.
He was like a time bomb, no one knew when it would explode.
Right now, the Steward Group’s internal chaos had become a huge mess, and many accounts had been in deficit, A
group of high-level managers quitted and left the company, leaving only employees who knew nothing.
If no one stood up to preside over the situation, the company that had stood firmly in City N for centuries, the
family business that had been passed down several generations would collapse overnight. Its collapse would be
seen as if it had never existed before. Many Steward Group’s employees would also suffer a huge blow.
The person who caused these consequences was Lyndon.
Because of one person’s selfish desire, thousands of people were harmed.
Regardless of how many times he died, it was not enough to compensate for what he had done.
…
The next day, when Stella’s alarm clock rang, Clarence was no longer sleeping beside her.
She got up with a yawn, washed up and went out of the bedroom.
Alisa was already in the kitchen preparing breakfast, “Madam, you’re awake. The meal will be ready soon.”
Stella looked around, “Where is Clarence?”
Alisa said, “I just arrived, and Mr. Conrad left, saying that there is something in the company, and he asked me to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttell you that he might be quite busy recently, and you don’t have to miss him.”
Stella was speechless.
Who missed him!
Halfway through the meal, Stella suddenly remembered something and asked, “Alisa, did the family next door give
birth to a baby?”
Alisa shook her head, “I’m not sure, I haven’t seen anyone next door.”
“I haven’t seen them either.”
Alisa laughed, “If you like babies, you can have one too.”
Hearing this, Stella paused and didn’t say anything.
Seeing this, Alisa thought that Stella was thinking of the child she had before. She said cautiously, “Madam, did I say
something wrong?”
Stella said, “No, I just think that kids are really cute.”
For the last few times, Clarence didn’t wear a condom when they did it, so she wasn’t sure if she could get
pregnant.
Just let God decide.
After the meal, Stella went to the studio.
After a rest, a lot of work had been backlogged.
Although fashion week was still a few months away, there were many things that needed to be determined in
advance and must be prepared as soon as possible.
In the afternoon, Sherry came knocking on the door and asked in a low voice, “Stella, are you busy?”
Stella stretched out and said, “It’s okay, what’s wrong?”
“There two people outside… They say they are employees of the Steward Group, and they want to see you.”
Stella froze, “They are here to see me?”
Sherry nodded, “Yes, if you don’t want to see them, I’ll just reject their request.”
It had been a while since the Steward Group’s anniversary celebration.
Stella did not pay much attention to the Steward Group’s affairs, but last night she saw the news saying that several
major projects of the Steward Group were called to a halt. However, there was no one to lead the situation, which
made the employees extremely panic.
Stella paused a while and said, “Let them in.”
“Okay.”
But what Stella didn’t expect was that she knew both of them.
One was the leader who tried to get Madison drunk at the table before, Armand.
Another person was the single father that Madison once said she would introduce to her, Logan.
Compared to the time they met before, once Armand entered the office, he was very agitated, sobbing emotionally.
He approached Stella and stretched out his hands to shake hers, “Ms. Radomil, I really thank you for taking the time
to meet us although you have a busy schedule, I really…”
Stella avoided his hand and said lightly, “No need to be so polite, just go straight to the point.”
Armand awkwardly wiped the sweat on his forehead and sat in the sofa, “During the last anniversary celebration,
we only know that you are the real heir of the Steward Group. You must have heard about the current situation of
the company, so we have no choice but to…”
Logan took over the conversation, “It’s better for me to say it. Ms. Radomil, since the chairman disappeared, the
Steward Group has become a mess. Whether it is the partners or the employees, they don’t know what they will
face in the future. They also don’t know what the company will become. We can’t make any decisions at all. Hence,
we would like to ask you, what do you think about the Steward Group?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStella said, “I don’t have any relationship with the Steward Group.”
Armand said, “Yes, yes, yes. Those problems were created by the chairman… No, it’s Lyndon. We can differentiate
between good and bad. Naturally, we will not let you take over this mess. But thousands of employees in the
company are innocent, as well as those large and small partners. All of them have a family to feed. Losing the
company may be not a big deal to others, but for them, they have invested all their assets and energy into the
company. This will lead to an unknown number of companies to go bankrupt and families to fall apart.”
Hearing this, Stella frowned and did not speak.
Logan then added, “We also understand that you do not have any obligation to take responsibility for the
employees, but that is not just thousands of people involved, but thousands of families.”
Armand continued, “Yes! The other senior members of the Steward Group have all run away. We have worked for
so many years in this company, and the employees are like our family members. I really can’t bear it.”
After hearing this, Stella looked at him, “Your relationship with the employees is like a family?”
Armand thought that Stella was going to accept their request. He patted his thigh and said, “Isn’t it right? We can’t
leave our family alone!”
Stella said “Oh”, and continued, “Maybe I’m too ignorant or I’ve seen too little about the world, it was my first time
seeing that someone will actually force their family members to drink and trying to harm her.”
In an instant, Armand’s face was filled with indescribably embarrassment and awkward.
He forced himself to speak, “That… that was because I was drunk at the time and started to say nonsense. I hope
that you won’t take it to heart.”
Logan also said, “Ms. Radomil, Mr. Bernard may have made some mistakes in certain aspects, but he has worked in
the Steward Group for more than ten years, he must have feeling towards the company.”
“Logan is right. The Steward Group is considered as my home. Now, I’m going to lose my home. I can’t possibly
stand aside and do nothing,” Armand sighed deeply, “If you are still mad about what had happened before, I can
go…”
Stella interrupted him, “You guys came here to see me, so what do you want me to do?”
